So, from the thread on SVK to here:@Warren:I'm far from having the same erudition as you do, but I wonder if there's some kind of reading list you'd advise and how you even manage to read that much given your load of work. How do you find the time to write, read and check your contracts , do your interviews and keep on being not only informed, but usually a step forward the rest of poor mortals?Does a snackr account allows you to go with the whole flow on information?

Another one, regarding your writing: I have a tendency to believe that when you write a story, that is, a 20-pages comic-book, you find beforehand some weird idea (like one on the fruitbats with the Beast, or on zero energy, which you used a few times, or a few comments on that Japanese cannibal) and reshape it to give it a bigger place in your story. Is my view accurate? Do you know if Brian Vaughan works the same way, given his ability to add factuals in his stories?

1- how do you deal with your time? You have a lot to do, writing among others things, and still you manage to keep informed and read. Do you have some kind of tight schedule management tool?

2- How do you built a story? from a momentum into something bigger (like, you focus on one moment you want to tell, a joke, a fact, whatever) or the other way around: you work around the general shape of the story and then you add in specific elements (joke, factuals)?

@warrenellis- I think we keep asking you the "how do you write a story" or "what are your influences and inspirations," because we find your writing charismatic, quirky, and alternative in a way that is addictive and entertaining. It's like your the Ridley Scott of comics, and we, myself especially, can't get enough of your great work. To be honest, 85% of my graphic novel collection is by you, Mr. Ellis.
